Deutsche Bank Moves
Toward Sale of Stake
In Eurobank of Greece

ATHENS -- Deutsche Bank AG started the process that will lead to the sale of its 9.3% stake in EFG Eurobank of Greece, in a surprise move that knocked Eurobank shares lower.

Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest bank, said it would begin an accelerated book-building process for its 29.2 million shares of Eurobank, Greece's third-biggest bank by assets, in line with its strategy of divesting equity holdings and noncore units.
